Description Arne Babenhauserheide 2009-11-12 10:15:48 UTC 
Version:           0.9.3 (using 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-gentoo-r5

It would be nice to have the option to show the first and last page as single pages but the rest side by side. 

That way booklets could be read like a printed copy: 

|1|
|2|3|
|4|5|
|6|7|
|8|

Besides: When I checked a PDF I created at the computer of a friend of mine with only acrobat reader, I though "they'll have such a mode for sure" and asked them to switch to dual-side mode because they could check the new pictures more easily that way. We couldn't find such a mode :) 
The dual-side mode is damn convenient and useful - many thanks for adding it!

Okular can already do that
Settings -> Configure Okular -> General -> View Options -> Center first

Wow, I didn't know that. 

Many thanks for the Info! 

I'm now using it and it's great!
